Tag Archives: Crockpot

These past few weeks have been hit or miss on preparing meals in our home. I was spending virtually every waking moment with Viv. When I did get home to prepare a meal, it had to quick and easy or get the crockpot going first thing in the morning. If you have never tried Crockpot Lasagne, get you crock pot out now!

Lately, I have been having a tropical vibe. We live on a gorgeous beach with turquoise water, sugar white sand and gentle breeze. Every weekend as I am floating in my chair trying to beat the heat, I envision myself as a beautiful hula dancer.

This is me…….in my head…..as I float around in my chair…..with sweat rolling down my face

But something deep down inside me tells me that this is what people would really see if I broke out into my hula dance…….

But really, who would you rather spend some tropical time with? The gorgeous, serene beauty or the wild woman just not having a care in the world and dancing her heart out?! Yea, I thought so, I would be so much fun as a hula girl.

Today I have another Crock-pot, or Slow Cooker, recipe for you. Every year, Sir Streusel and I rent a lake house in the Georgia Mountains and do nothing, seriously, nothing. Eric fishes from sun up until sun down. We don’t even go out to eat except for one night. I take the Crock-pot and of course my cast iron skillet and do easy meals for us. It is all about slowing down, resting and refreshing. Pulled Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches is on the menu every year.
